To WHOM 1T MATCONCERN=v o v Be it known that LNDREW E. BANKS, 'of Detroit, in the county-'ofA Wayne, and State of Michiganfhave invented a new and useful Improvement in Chnrn-Dashers; -and I". do declare that 4the following is artrne and Y accurate description thereof, reference being had tothe accompilinyin'g drawings, and to thejletters of refe-rence marked thereon, and making a part of this specification. i I' i The object of my inventionis to so construct a churn-dasher-as'willfacilitate butter-making. The nature of my churn-dasher consists in using three or more disks,.the largeston'e beng'at the bottom,

and each succeeding one above being smaller, made concave or hollow upon tlie under "side, and put together zwith dowel-pns, which hold the disks in properposition. The-handle tothe dasher is made hol-low, and at the bottom is provided with a proper valve, for thev purpose of admitting air'into the churn. Thisair isadmitted with the upward movement of the dasher, andthe valve closes, retainingthe air, vin the downward movement;

By the .motion of the dasher, the air is carried to the bottoni of the churn through .the holes in .the disks, an'd- .ontwards, against the walls of the churn, by the eoncavities in the under sides of the disks, By this combination', vcare being taken to keep the cream at a proper temperature, I have made butter in fortyjseconds.

Iam aware that disksrlike mine are already in use, but put together in a different man ner, by being screwed `on to properstandards. I am also aware that a hollowl handle, provided with a. valve for the induction of air into the churn, is in use; consequently, I make noclaim upon either the disks or the hollow handle. My method of putting the'disks together by the dowels is much superior to the one in use, where iron screws are used to fasten them to the standards. The only hole Athrough .the upper disk or collar is the one` through 'which the hollow Ahandle passes.

Having thus described the construction of my invention, I will nowname its various parte. A.A. 'A are the disksg-B B B B are the dowel-pins; Gis the hollow handle; Eis the valve; F F F, &e.,are the holes through the disks; G is the upper disk or collar. 'It will be noticed that I allow my d'oWel-pins to project through the lower disk, and alittle below the bottom face of the disk, which prevents all danger of breaking the daslier in striking the bottom of the churn. v i

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The use oi' the dowel-pinsB B B B, for the purpose described, when arranged substantially as set forth; 2. The combination of the disks A A, dto., with holes through them, F F, &c., the upper disk or collar-G,

with the hollow handle C, provided with the valve E, and the dowel-pins B B, dac., when arranged-substantially as described, and for the purpose designed.
